The former Hazelwood's building will be razed to make room for a completely new build restaurant. Gino's East will be a 4,400-square-foot building with an expansive outdoor patio.

As at the restaurant's other locations across Chicagoland and in Wisconsin, Texas, and Mexico City, the Phoenix restaurant will serve deep-dish pizza, thin-crust pizza, and a variety of salads and sandwiches. The restaurant will also serve beer, cocktails, and wine.

The Phoenix restaurant is expected to open toward the end of the year. For more information, check the Gino's East website.
